dr breen

That wasn’t my neck, but it felt great none the less :wink:

Oh, I was wondering why you had such a small neck.

Don’t lie, you heard the gossip. Thats why you begged and pleaded so much to see it.
And now back on topic, slow, fast or poison?

He’s dead.

Well, ok then

FINE! JEEZ! I’ll play along. :meh:

Poison because Breen harvesting black headcrabs is awesome.

Sweet, Breen poison. It reduces your health and takes ur memory like breen’s water. And it forces a turtle neck sweater to grow on you. :smiley:

Thats a little harsh. I dont see breen coming back but then its well within valves creative grasp to write him back in if they so wish.
Any series like this has got to have characters that come and go. and not all will make a return

Nah, breens dead, and good ridance.

Wish I coulda put the bullet in his head myself, but i suppose agonizing vaporisation works just aswell

Breen was destroyed in every way it is possible to be destroyed - and even in some which are essentially impossible

Chuckles the Cheat: "You knuckleheads ain’t even worth the effort! Hahahahahahahah!
Dr. Breen: “HAAAAAAAX!”
Flying monitor owns Chuckles

Actually his name is Dr. HAX in those videos.

Theoretically, you could suppose that Gman was planning on leaving her in the path of imminent doom with the expectation that the Vorts would focus solely on saving her, thus allowing him free reign over how he used Gordon. Not all gambles pay off, Gman knows that, so he simply waited for Alyx to be put in even worse peril and boom, Vorts now ARE distracted enough for Gman to do what he wants.

As for Breen, it’s absolutely certain that the Host Body thing WILL come up. He might end up as some sort of SuperCombine, or SuperStalker, or maybe some sort of horrible humanoid advisor, but he’s definitely going to be back. Not only did they have the whole spiel about the host body at the end of HL2, but they touched back on it at the very beginning of Ep1.
Actually, if people have read the HL2 Raising the Bar book, they pointed out that one of the original designs for Breen had him as only a torso. Ep3 would be the ideal time to bring him back looking like this;
Given Breen’s attitude, I can almost hear him trying to act as if it was totally undeserved and that Gordon was directly and solely responsible for him ending up like that too.

i love his cheeky little grin

that’s a scary little critter guy. Imagine how bitter Breen would be after becoming that fuckin thing.

I like your theory. The bit about alyx getting the shaft was really about the lack of a concrete outline at valve when it comes to writing the half life story and the “possibility” of the return of breen. Like magnussen and the casserole, valve makes liberal use of reverse continuity.

Isn’t breen dead?

In the three pages before this one

I bet you Breen stupidly returns. :expressionless:

It’s both. He dies, but still returns. The combine don’t seem like a race that would let a petty thing like death get in the way of doing what they want.
